Soss 

Invisible  Hinges 


“  The  First  Practical  Improvement 
in  One  Thousand  Years  ”

SOSS  MANUFACTURING  COMPANY 


A  Thousand  Years  Ago 

doors  were  hung  on  hinges  very  much  like  the  butt  hinges  in 
use  to-day. 

They  were  useful  in  that  doors  would  swing  on  them — but 
they  were  not  beautiful — there  is  no  beauty  in  a  hinge. 

Now  in  our  day  it  is  possible  to  obtain  without  excessive 
cost  hinges  possessing  every  merit  of  the  old  fashioned  hinge  and 
having  the  added  merit  of  being  invisible. 

To-day  Soss  Invisible  Hinges  are  being  used  in  ever-increas¬ 
ing  numbers  by  piano  manufacturers,  in  furniture  factories,  on 
automobiles,  in  many  homes  and  buildings  and  wherever 
particularly  fine  construction  is  called  for. 

They  are  adaptable  for  all  manner  of  use  from  jewel-case 
covers  to  bronze  entrance  doors. 

Novelties  commonly  have  both  merits  and  defects. 

Soss  Invisible  Hinges  are  not  a  novelty,  they  have  been  on 
the  market  for  many  years  and  each  year  has  seen  their  use 
increase. 

They  have  no  defects — they  are  in  every  way  as  practical 
as  the  old  fashioned  hinge.

Construction  and  Installation 

Soss  Invisible  Hinges  are  manufactured  with  exceptional 
accuracy  from  the  highest  grade  of  material. 

Working  parts  are  of  frictionless  metal— no  oil,  no  noise, 
no  wear. 

All  hinges  have  roller  bearings  working  as  easily  as  ball¬ 
bearing  butt  hinges. 

Simplicity  of  Installation — Any  carpenter  or  any  one  who 
can  bore  a  hole  can  install  Soss  Invisible  Hinges.  They  are 
applied  to  the  same  part  of  the  door  and  jamb  as  an  ordinary 


butt,  and  require  no  special  arrangement  of  the  work.  A  tem¬ 
plet  is  enclosed  in  each  box  and  full  directions  are  given  for  its  use. 

Economy — Manufacturers  can  do  all  mortising  by  machine. 
Plates  are  accurate  up  to  one  thousandth  part  of  an  inch.  This 
is  a  feature  of  prime  importance. 

The  saving  in  cost  of  labor  more  than  equals  the  slight 
additional  cost  of  hinge.

Soss  Invisible  Hinges 

Small  Sizes 

Universally  used  on  player  pianos  and  in  furniture  factories 
throughout  the  country  on  small  cabinet  work,  such  as 

Tables 

Music  Cabinets 
Desks 

Medicine  Cabinets 
Caskets 
Folding  Chairs 
China  Closets 
Filing  Cabinets 
Sideboards  and  Buffets 
Book  Cases 
Dressing  Tables 
Folding  Screens 

and  for  many  other  uses.  On  such  work  hinges  have  always 
been  made  as  inconspicuous  as  possible.  Soss  Hinges  are 
invisible. 

Styles  of  Finish 

Soss  Invisible  Hinges  are  made  in  two  styles,  Blunt  and 
Polished. 

Blunt  finished  hinges  are  simply  assembled  and  plated. 

Polished  hinges  have  the  center  section  highly  ground  and 
polished,  adding  to  their  appearance. 

There  is  no  difference  in  the  relative  strength.  Hinges  of 
either  finish  are  equally  strong.

Flush  Doors — Clean  Lines 
No  Projections 

The  trouble  avoided  and  time  gained  when  hang¬

portance. 

Soss  Hinges  can  be  installed  flush  with  outside  of 
the  pillar,  allowing  steel  or  aluminum  panel  to  be 
turned  over  on  face  of  hinge  and  fastened  in  rabbet  or 
slot  to  receive  it,  thus  permitting  of  more  than  ordinary 
clearance. 

These  Hinges  are  mechanically  accurate,  an  im¬ 
portant  feature,  as  they  permit  machining  of  the 
pillars  before  assembling  in  the  body.

WE  can  cast  as  close  as  parts  can  be  machined,  but  require 
to  be  informed  of  vital  or  important  dimensions.  If  not 
we  may  waste  time  and  efforts  in  the  wrong  direction,  causing 
expense  and  high  cost  without  achievement.  When  submitting 
blue-prints  for  estimate,  underline  vital  dimensions  and  state 
limitations,  also  give  quantity  required,  application  and  function 
of  the  part,  and  all  other  information  that  will  give  us  a  clear  and 
intelligent  idea  of  your  parts,  enabling  us  to  furnish  satisfactory 
.  castings.

SOSS  MANUFACTURING  COMPANY 


WE  recommend  our  method  on  intricate  and  accurate 
parts.  To  the  up-to-date  manufacturer  we  wish  to  state 
that  cheaper  production  on  intricate  parts  is  not  the  only  saving 
we  claim.  Parts  die  cast  are  exactly  alike,  being  made  from  the 
same  mold,  are  absolutely  accurate  to  dimensions. 

The  trouble  avoided  and  the  time  gained  in  assembling  are 
important  factors.  Quick  assembling  means  profit.

THE  main  ingredients  in  the  different  white  metal  alloys 
we  use  depend  largely  on  the  parts  and  the  functions 
thereof.  We  advise  reinforcement  with  ribs,  webs,  etc.,  where 
strength  is  required. 

Our  success  is  based  on  the  close  study  we  have  given  to 
Die  Casting.  We  offer  our  experience  and  facilities  to  you. 

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  Soss  Die  Casting  Machines  and 
equipment  to  manufacturers.
